Preserving Beauty

Somersby Park residents represented half of the attendants during Laurel Park’s “Community Eco-Enviro Workshop” presented by Steve Pettis of the NC Extension Service.  The community learned about sustainable gardening practices, implementing wildfire-resistant landscaping and helping erosion control. Future meetings are scheduled as we continue to enhance our natural beauty and continue to enjoy living in the Western North Carolina mountains.

Hungry Men

A hearty group gathers regularly for good food and fellowship. The men of Somersby Park mix it up and feast at several locations across the area every two weeks. This stop recently found everyone happy at the Hendersonville County Club for a delicious breakfast.

History Walk

Somersby Park neighbors gathered at Rhododendron Lake and explored historic Laurel Park. Along the way we stopped at cascading falls and informational markers to learn about the settlers and help us appreciate why this is a special place to enjoy and call home.

Men’s Breakfast

10 hungry fellows showed up for a tasty hot breakfast and good conversation at the Hendersonville County Club. Different locations are selected throughout Henderson County for the Somersby Park friends to gather every two weeks. It’s always a fun time to catch up with the guys.

We Bowled for Kids’ Sake

On Saturday, March 4, residents headed to Tarheel Lanes to help Big Brothers Big Sisters meet their fundraising goal to support one-to-one mentoring for children of Henderson County and across Western North Carolina. It was a great neighborhood gathering of fun and fellowship in addition to helping a good cause. Art, who headed up Bowl-di-locks and the Three Spares team, won highest achiever of fundraising.
